That is correct. The IBM model M I'm using has a date of Aug 1984 on the bottom, came with the PS1 we had at work at one point. I bought a new one in 1992 or so just to see if i could get one not as "clickey" sounding, but it lasted about 6 months before the "spring" (rubber injected molded buttons) under the most used keys wore out so I went back to using this one. I bought a half dozen old ps1's for $10 each at one point to just to stock up on keyboards though looking back that was a waste of money since i'm still using the original one....
